Outdoor Living Shit

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Wow, EAxis has really let the greed and laziness overcome them with this piece of shit.  NO patterns, ONE build object (a fireplace), a handful of outfits, and some crappy buy objects that skew heavily toward hot tubs.  This SP is about the size of a Store Set for twice the price.  It is your DUTY to pirate this shit.

Not to mention I've been getting BSoD's during gameplay ever since installation. Lame. The Outdoor living AF hairstyle appears to be a shittier version of an already existing store hair.

Hmm. I haven't noticed any unusual barfy type game behaviors since I installed it, but I will concur with Senator McRat that the experience of having this in your game is less than awe-inspiring.  Only a few things stand out for me as even vaguely usable, like the new hot tubs and such.

I think I like the new Jazz Age store set more than OLS.

Unless you're in dire need for some ugly furniture and clothes, as well as 5 hot tubs (All of which are no different from the ones in late night) I don't even recommend pirating this shit. It's not worth the 4 GB space on your hard drive, it also uglifies your loading screen until the next EP (Or you're using a loading screen mod). I pirated it yesterday, it's not worth it... when I started up the game, I was struck with the biggest glitch ever. The objects had a bunch of technical file path nonsense next to them as I moused over them in-game, and when I started playing in the house I designed exclusively for OLS, none of the stuff even worked, save for the telescope. When I moused over the objects, all I could do was move them, as if I was using the inventory. NO INTERACTIONS. This was probably due to either improper installation or incompatible mods. Anyways, I uninstalled it afterward. None of the objects were worth it. Save your money and hard drive space.

It's not worth the 4 GB space on your hard drive,

It doesn't take up 4GB. It uses about 200 megs. The full installation is around 5GB, and includes all the patches that have been released to date: every new EP or SP includes all the patches that came before it. The actual meat is much, much smaller.

Really it's just a fancy store set with an elaborate (and unnecessary) installation method. Oh, and a new splash screen.

The splash screen is nice.

I don't mind the new splash, it's funny and Springlike.  Besides, there are mods for that if you really hate it.

I was a little taken aback by how little this set contained. But hey, it's not like I spent money on it.  If it was worth the money, I might have put it on my 'things to spend money on someday' list.  But despite a couple of nice accents, like the scrollwork wall candle thing and a nice wall plant, it's just a little lacking.  I didn't even notice the hair.

I buy them then sell them on ebay, I almost always get what I paid for them back. I've lost all respect for SPs along time ago.

The patch borked CAW, which happened to me before I even installed this SP.  But a simple uninstall-redowload-reinstall has fixed CAW for me.  I haven't noticed it doing anything terrible since then, so I assume it works as well as it ever has.

There's actually 2 fireplaces..... not 1. One's a clone of the cheapo stove. The other requires walls to look nice.

Eh, it's got around 40 items (but I didn't bother scouring the enormous deco section to count those), which is more than some of the sims 2 packs had and in line with the other packs. I think people expected more build stuff though.

The outdoor stuff is distinctly outdoors-y though, which is the big selling point to me, I think. Any other fridge or stove looks ridiculous outside, but these new ones are right at home in the yard.

I thought it came with a new radio station, though? Nothing new shows up on the stereo.

Yeah, the public was just clamoring for another shitpile of non-interactive deco items.

The hassle of releasing patches every single time a stuff pack is release...soon it will be 1.xx/2.xx/3.xx/4.xx/5.xx/6.xx/7.xx/8.xx/9.xx/10.xx/11.xx/12.xx/13.xx/14.xx/15.xx/16.xx

We've got enough "stuff".  I'm going crazy waiting for EA to announce the next expansion pack.

There is a new radio, but no new stations.  According to a post on the BBS, there are a couple of new songs on the techno channel, but I haven't checked to confirm this yet.

Stuff packs have always been little more than a cynical ploy to get dimwitted sheep on the BBS to buy overpriced crap. Why would EA change a habit of a lifetime? No doubt the sheep are busy on the BBS bleating away about how special they must feel.

Equally laughable is that Barnacle Bay thing. Apparently it sold so poorly, that EA are planning to sell it in real bricks-and-mortar stores on physical media. Probably charge £30 for it too.

The best part is that at least some of the new shiny objects are borkinated. I wanted to re-do a community lot with the outdoor kitchen stuff, but the new counters won't let you place the WA registers on them, and the new grill isn't community enabled, you're still stuck with the one choice. (Unless you have a mod of course.) Didn't expect the stove to be placeable, which it isn't, but I do have a mod for that.  Haven't had the opportunity to try much else yet, But I'm sure there's more.
